It's time to fess up...
I did something rash, and outrageous...involving scissors...
JANUARY FOOLS!
The real issue around here is that I never know what time it is!
But back to when I faked you out into thinking I had bangs - are those some killer look-alikes or what?!
It's actually just the ends of my hair (which are about 500 shades lighter than my current follicle hue so everyone thought I had cut AND bleached it!) with a headband and bun to complete the disguise.
I quite like it actually! This means you can have bangs one day and none the next - no hassle!
For those of you at home wanting to try this for yourselves, the instructions are quite simple:
1.) gather hair into a nice top-of-your-head-bun, wrapping it around the center, making sure to leave out some of the ends for the "bangs"
2.) Sweep the ends of your hair down over your forehead as if they are your bangs.
3.) With your "bang" extras in place, pin the bun in to your head, and put a headband across the "bang-line" to complete the illusion.
4.) Rock your sweet new temporary 'do!

And on the subject of words starting with the letter B I've got beets to share!
These beauties where made from our summer beet harvest this past summer. Originally they were these lovely pink and white striped rings, but they seem to have simply all blended together into one fabulous fuchsia-esque concoction. I've never made pickles before, so it was a bit of a daunting process initially. The overall taste test was positive!
I'm not very into sweet pickles or those candy-tasting pickled beets, so I used a more dill-oriented recipe to give them a nice sour kick.
Look at that! I would probably just line up the jars and use them as stained glass if it wouldn't make them totally inedible!
Here's my artistic question:
Which makes for a better photograph? The textured background, or the sun-blinded plain white background?
Here are your choices:

I'm torn - some thoughts from the peanut gallery perhaps?
